JOIN US: 2010 Hebrew National Better-Than-A-Picnic Picnics

May 14th, 2010

{ disclosure: i am a sponsored co-host of this event }

Hebrew National, of the famous hot dogs that are 100% Pure Kosher Beef, are throwing a “Better-Than-A-Picnic” Picnic where we will be decorating reusable lunch bags benefiting Feeding America’s Magic Summer Lunch Box Program! If you can’t join us, follow this link to make your own donation! This kick-off event will lead off into 8 other cities supporting local charities in their areas. My mother worked at Hebrew National’s for many years and I grew up on these deliciously juicy hot dogs and they are the only hot dogs we buy in this family. That’s why I’m thrilled to be hosting this event with some of my favorite mommies:

WHAT: A fun-filled afternoon with giant puzzles, mechanical bull rides (enough said), other activities for kids and family, music by a band or DJ, our celebrity co-host Cheryl Hines of Curb Your Enthusiam, as well as the iconic Hebrew National AirStream bus where hot dogs and other confections will be served up.

COST: FREE! It doesn’t get any better than that! Do something good (count it as your good deed for the day!) and eat yummy delicious hot dogs — it’s a WIN-WIN! Please RSVP HERE! – Comments will be closed for this post.
